INTRO: D G A D D G A Bm G A (4 beats of each chord) 

  D G I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say? 
  A D My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay. 
  D G It's not that I'm not interested, you see; 
  A D Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be. 

  D G    I think Jamaican in the  moonlight. 
  A D    Sandy beaches, drinking  rum every night. 
  D G    We got no money, mama,  but we can go; 
  A D    We'll split the difference, go to  Coconut Grove. 

  D G     Keep on talking, mama,  I can't hear. 
  A D     Your voice, it tickles down in side of my ear. 
  D G     I feel a tropical vac ation this year, 
  A D     Might be the answer to this  hillbilly fear. 

  D G     I think Jamaican in the  moonlight. 
  A D     Sandy beaches, drinking  rum every night. 

  D G     We got no money, mama,  but we can go; 
  A D     We'll split the difference, go to  Coconut Grove. 

  D G     Voila!  An A merican Dream. 
  A D     Well, we can travel girl, with out any means. 
  D G     When it's as easy as  closing your eyes 
  A D     And dream Jamaica is a  big neon sign.
